State Should Hold Power to Finance Deep Waterway
Joliet leaders promote a plan by E G Purkhiser to issue bonds paid by canal revenues. A 24 foot deep waterway from Lockport to the Mississippi would yield about $1,000,000 annually from water power and require about $5.5 million to extend. They urge state control of the power and the project to avoid tax costs, arguing the project benefits all Illinois and the middle west.
